[Central hemodynamics and oxygen supply in patients with ischemic heart disease associated with chronic bronchitis]

A comparative study of central hemodynamics and systemic oxygen supply was carried out with reference to hemodynamic type in patients with uncomplicated coronary heart disease (CHD) and CHD combined with chronic nonobstructive bronchitis. Patients with combined pathology and hyper- or hypokinetic circulation type showed the same hemodynamic pattern at rest and oxygen supply during exercise, as did coronary patients with similar circulation types, that suggested latent heart failure and were more marked in patients with hypokinetic circulation. In coronary patients with chronic bronchitis and eukinetic circulation, central hemodynamics and oxygen supply were impaired, as compared to coronary patients with similar circulation types.
